Shades of Swedish climate scepticism: An exploration of explanatory factors on doubts about climate change
This study examines the drivers of climate scepticism in Sweden, distinguishing between epistemic scepticism – doubts about the scientific evidence of climate change – and response scepticism, concerning doubts about the need or effectiveness of climate mitigation. Using a large-scale survey (n = 5280), we analyse how variants of political ideology – regarding economic and material aspects, and cultural values captured on the GAL-TAN scale – and …
Being everything for everybody all at once: Facework for trustworthiness of a citizens’ assembly for the climate
In the context of distrust and scepticism about the climate issue, researchers are exploring the potential of deliberative mini-publics, such as citizens’ assemblies about climate change, to find new fora for just climate governance. However, while the literature suggests such arenas have potential to temper climate scepticism, it is less clear how specific design components of these innovations may relate to specific reasons for distrust. This p…
Coping with an antagonistic climate: Researchers' perspectives
Swedish researchers face an antagonistic climate of denial, scepticism, and distrust. Despite Sweden’s reputation as a climate forerunner, our interviews with 30 researchers show problems for conducting climate research in the country. Researchers use diverse communication and public engagement strategies, but often risk increasing exposure to problematic criticism and damage to their reputations. Interviewees considered themselves largely truste…
Counteracting climate denial: A systematic review
Despite scientific consensus on climate change, climate denial is still widespread. While much research has characterised climate denial, comparatively fewer studies have systematically examined how to counteract it. This review fills this gap by exploring the research about counteracting climate denial, the effectiveness and the intentions behind intervention. Through a systematic selection and analysis of 65 scientific articles, this review fin…
Emergentist education and the opportunities of radical futurity
Higher education has been criticised for its instrumental character, which constrains possibilities for meaningful change towards sustainability. Drawing on the concept of radical futurity, we develop a conception of education that we call "emergentist education". We integrate literature from futures studies, education for sustainable development, philosophy of education, and bring into dialogue experiences from three futures-facing educational c…
